'She's trying to overcharge me!': Fast food employee and manager bewildered by customer who won't pay an extra penny for meal

'She's trying to overcharge me!': Fast food employee and manager bewildered by customer who won't pay an extra penny for meal

Every penny counts , according to this customer. A debate stirs up every few years over the abolishment of the penny. The humble one-cent coin is rather useless in today's day and age. Gone are the days of penny candy---even dollar stores are quickly becoming $3-$5 stores. There's very little you can purchase for a dollar, and with the current rate of inflation, there's little hope that it'll improve any time soon. Back to the penny debate: every so often, people will petition to get rid of the…

'Is this a prank?': Demanding couple ask business class passenger to switch seats, she agrees, only to find out they were seated in economy

Funny stories about people who have entitlement complexes are common, and they keep us constantly reminded that reality never quite measures up to our expectations. That being said, the story that follows is that of a bewildered traveler. An attempt is made by the Original Poster (OP) to travel from Toronto to Vancouver in business class when a woman approaches OP as she is going about her own business and begs to trade seats with her so that she and her spouse can sit together. OP initially co…

‘Her manager called the next day, profusely apologizing’: Customer gets back at retail employee for refusing to help her 30 minutes before store closing time

‘Her manager called the next day, profusely apologizing’: Customer gets back at retail employee for refusing to help her 30 minutes before store closing time

Let's get the record straight on this issue. If a store's closing time is at 7:00 pm, the employees can stop accepting customers no earlier than 6:50 pm. Even if there are annoying customers that come in 15 minutes before you close, and take their sweet time, you have to be loyal to the closing time that is known to the public. You can't just decide to close 30 minutes earlier just because you feel like it. Much like what the employee in this Reddit story did. A customer came into the store wit…

'THIS EMPLOYEE IS STEALING': Drive thru worker gets caught adding unauthorized 20% tips to orders

'THIS EMPLOYEE IS STEALING': Drive thru worker gets caught adding unauthorized 20% tips to orders

This one has caused some split reactions across the internet. On the one hand, we agree that all service workers deserve generous tips. On the other hand, the customer did not even get the opportunity to add the tip amount of their choice nor was there a clause or any confirmation that an automatic tip would be factored into the final payment. Instead, their card was charged 20% more than what they were actually paying for, and get this: this was just a drive-thru pizza order. When the customer…

‘You’re a grown woman, figure it out': Demanding guest blames hotel clerk for failing to book her room after she disappeared for days

‘You’re a grown woman, figure it out': Demanding guest blames hotel clerk for failing to book her room after she disappeared for days

If you want things to get done, 9 out of 10 times, you are going to have to do them yourself. Nobody else will do them for you. If you want to go on vacation, you have to be the one who books the flights, hotels, and attractions. If you are just waiting around for somebody else to do all the hard work for you then–guess what? you are probably not going to go on vacation. I don't know what this customer thought in this Reddit story, but she is the perfect example of these kinds of people who do…

'Don't clock in, don't get paid': Company stops paying employees who fail to clock in on time, leading to a legal dispute

Different workplaces have different ways of ensuring their employees are doing their jobs properly. One of the main aspects of the job that managers usually take note of is when their employees arrive, and when they leave, so there are a few ways a manager can track his employees' working hours. They can use an app that employees would clock in and out from, they can use a physical card and clock at the office, and they can just use the good ol' trusting system in which they trust their employe…

'The meanest girls I know are all nurses': 20+ occupations that attract the worst people

In every industry, you are bound to find annoying people. However, some occupations are way worse at attracting bad apples than others. These folks shared what they believe to be the worst jobs for the worst kinds of people via this r/AskReddit thread, and we have a lot of questions. First, why did so many people mention nurses? This has me worried the next time I go to a hospital. On the other hand, car salesmen and real estate agents did not shock me in the slightest. Raise your hand if you'v…

'In your dreams...': Queue jumper waits 3 times as long for assistance after demanding store manager grant him VIP access

Serving customers is not always an easy task. However, you don't have to work in customer service to profit from the advantages that come with the position. For example, in the story that follows, the Original Poster (OP) talks about his experience with a demanding client who won't wait his turn to be serviced. OP works as a security guard at a well-known phone company in Dublin City Center. The Original Poster (OP) sets the scene by claiming that most staff members are reluctant to offer their…

Karen calls neighbor's boss to try to get him fired, falsely accuses him of theft: 'It was so embarrassing'

Karen calls neighbor's boss to try to get him fired, falsely accuses him of theft: 'It was so embarrassing'

This woman was really grasping at straws here! She refused to be ignored despite the fact that both parties knew she was in the wrong. First, her neighbor asked her to quiet down during a Halloween party when she and her guests were also crossing their property line. This was a decent and fair request. Then, she got defensive and accused the neighbor of trying to get back at her by messing with her packages. She even went so far as to call this guy's boss to try to get him in trouble. Of course…

'Karen was annoyed that I didn't evenly divide 7 by 2': Mother throws tantrum after her daughters were not picked as volunteers in school assembly

When will the Karens of the world understand that not every event is about them? It's wishful thinking at this point to imagine that sudden self-awareness is even possible, but we live to hope for another day. Thankfully, this performer/educator had enough confidence to confront Karen with facts and receipts after Karen tried to accuse her of being unfair. The Redditor who shared this story visited schools and gave performative lectures about the importance of saving water, using volunteers fro…

‘Who’s laughing now?': New hire throws boss's keys away after being ridiculed for quitting on their first day

‘Who’s laughing now?': New hire throws boss's keys away after being ridiculed for quitting on their first day

Where is the logic in hiring someone for a job and then immediately ridiculing them and making them quit? Even if the manager can magically tell by the first couple of hours on the job that the new hire isn't a good fit, that still is not an excuse to treat them like they are worthless. That is why the manager in this Reddit story completely deserved what was coming for him. A new hire arrived at his job as a salesperson at a car lot, and while on training both the new hire and the manager felt…

'You told me to handle them, hence I handled them': Entitled mother loses it after shopper gets her kids thrown out of the store

It takes a certain kind of parent to let their kids run amok in a store. We understand that kids can get rowdy; that's inevitable. We also understand that this mother may have tried to calm them down in the past to no avail. That being said, once they start tampering with the store products and once they start actively disrupting other customers, it's time to take control and at least attempt to restore order. Not only did this woman refuse to try, but she ended up offloading her kids onto anot…

'He's lying! Arrest him!': Crazed cookie Karen tries to steal dude's cookies right outside of the store

Now, it's fair to say that Oreos TM are a fantastic snack. I really think that Oreos TM are one of the most essential pillars of Americana. Without Oreos TM where would we be? It's hard to say. Oreos TM are great, but, as satisfying as licking the middle out of each Oreo TM before putting the cookie part back in the Oreo TM packaging for your significant other to discover later, I can't go as far as saying that I'd accost a random stranger outside a grocery store in order to claim their Oreos T…

'The girl downstairs is insane': Grad student gets back at petty Karen neighbor for nonstop noise complaints

If you have a Karen neighbor with a knack for making constant noise complaints, consider moving out of your place as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you try to reason with her; she won't be reasonable. It doesn't matter if you try to use furniture cups or to get a carpet; she will not budge. People like that simply cannot be appeased. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Laserskrivare , a graduate student who is rarely at home anyway. However, when she is at h…
